Transpower subcontractors work on equipment at the Makaranui Substation on Sunday, part of a routine maintenance shutdown. During the fourhour effort they removed the transformer that caused problems on Monday 24 February, to allow for a major overhaul. Also worked on were the 11,000 volt and 110,000 volt 'bus bar' lines to the substation. Transpower spokesman Russell Stewart said the company plans to upgrade the station so that the regular shutdown can be carried out lessfrequently, probably biannually. He said the shutdowns are inevitable as there is only one transformer at the substation.
